Embed Image from IMGUR to MH Post ???

#1 Post by linuxusr » Sat Jan 15, 2022 3:52 pm

What I am failing to do I have already done successfully, but each time I forget how to do it. This time I'm completely failing. I will write a steps document so this doesn't happen again.

Here's what I've done:

1. I successfully upload and label images to my IMGUR account. I ensure that all images have .jpg extensions.
2. In my NEW post, I click on the Embed icon.
3. I have tried many ways to copy a link from IMGUR to the Embed brackets and every time I check Preview, the image fails to embed. I have tried right click for the link directly on the image, the IMGUR embed tool link, the share link, and many others.

It appears that what I am grabbing from IMGUR is nsot the right thing. Or maybe another problem.

Any help appreciated.

OP: I solved it after playing around with about 25 more iterations:

At IMGUR:
a. Upper right corner of diagram, hover cursor to get "copy link." To the right will be a drop down menu.
b. Copy/paste link from BBCode (Forums)
AT MH:
a. On new post page, select Media Embed and NOT Insert Image. Paste and preview.
